We are excited to announce that it is time to take applications for our 2024-2025 FIRST Lego League (FLL) Team! FLL is an opportunity for students to be part of a team. We have two 10 person teams consisting of 4th, 5th and 6th grade students. There is an all-day competition which is
tentatively scheduled for Saturday, February 8 at Granger High School. Individuals who cannot commit to attending the competition need not apply. We need our whole team every step of the way!
FLL is more than just building with LEGOs! Each competition includes the robot games, robot design, core values, and an innovation project and presentation. The project is the most heavily weighted component and requires teamwork, creativity,
and a lot of hard work.The final component to FLL is teamwork and First Lego League Core Values. Our teams are expected to express the FLL philosophies of Gracious Professionalism and "Coopertition" through our Core Values:
Discovery: We explore new skills and ideas.
Innovation: We use creativity and persistence to solve problems.
Impact: We apply what we learn to improve our world.
Inclusion: We respect each other and embrace our differences.
Teamwork: We are stronger when we work together.
Fun: We enjoy and celebrate what we do!
What are Armstrong's FLL Expectations:
FLL team members will be expected to attend our team meetings. They will be held Tuesday and Wednesday MORNINGS at 7:30 AM!! Students chosen to be on FLL are expected to be self-motivated, on task, be respectful of others, follow directions, be kind, be a team player, and follow the FLL Core Values. Once again, this is something they will be judged on at their competition. If students are not coming to our team meetings or are not following any of these expectations, they will be removed from the team. With so few students having the opportunity to participate, we expect full participation from each one.
